You should check the manufacturer’s warranty, as many manufacturers' warranties do not apply in a business or commercial setting. Please contact the manufacturer if you would like to make a claim under the manufacturer's warranty.

Customers may return unopened products sold and fulfilled by Online Toys Australia within 14 days of delivery for a refund (with any additional costs in respect of delivery/re-delivery being at your own expense unless Online Toys Australia determines that you have received an incorrect or defective item). The total refund amount will be the purchase price of the product less the actual shipping costs incurred by us in respect of such product, as determined by Australia Post, if such shipping costs are greater than our fixed rate delivery fee as set out on the Website or any invoice issued by us (it being acknowledged that the fixed rate delivery fee is not a true reflection of the actual shipping costs which we incur in despatching products to our customers). If the actual shipping costs incurred by us in shipping a Product to you do not exceed the fixed rate delivery fee set out on the Website or any invoice issued by us, the total refund amount will be the purchase price of the product less the fixed rate delivery fee. Any refund we make will be by the same payment method used to purchase the product. If a product is found not to be defective, we will return the product to you.

(b) Upon receipt of your request to return a purchase, Online Toys Australia will issue a Return Merchandise Authority number (“RMA number”)to help Online Toys Australia identify and process approved returns. Products returned without an RMA number visibly or clearly marked on packaging will be rejected and returned to you. Returns received in a damaged state will not be accepted.
